[Healeys] Dual Brake System

[John & Kerry Rowe]

Hi Pieter
I also had a 1"master cylinder on the BN1 with BJ8 front discs (though not
tandem system) and had a hard pedal even with a PBR VH44 booster. Not a good
feeling. Went to 7/8" and now works well

I have the wilwood  1" bore tandem master cylinder in my BJ7 combined  
with four pot front calipers and rear discs. It is a straight bolt in  
fit and easy to plumb but the pedal pressure is high. I would recomend  
a 7/8 bore. I am fitting a tandem brake booster over the winter so we  
will see what the pedal pressure is like then,
cheers

did see a Healey at Encounter in 2008 that had converted to a Dual
